Any guesses on this? I've posted to the epiandrous fusillae boards and (almost) everyone says male.

That folio just looks like it's gonna be a girl. =3

It is a male. On p metallica you cant use the folio, they look almost the same on both sexes. Many have made this mistake and try to dorsally sex p metallica. But hopefully you have a female ready soon ;-)

Man, I wish I did. The idea of sending this one off is stressing me out. I've been debating on whether I should sell him and buy another sling or risk loaning him out for 50/50. One guarantees at least one sling and the other is risky bidness.

On top of that they are not easy to get sacs from, but not impossible of course. They do need to be tricked to do it.

You might get better results posting in the correct location.

Try posting in Tatantula Sexing >>Epiandrous fusillae sexing.

That is true!

But at the very least it seems s/he used the search function, which not doing so is a bigger issue if you ask me. ;)
